    1980 Piper Aztec (non turbo)
    Fully de-iced
    Garmin GTN 650
    Radar
    KFC200 AP
    5000 Total time
    190 hrs on left engine

    Excellent cosmetics. (Fresh interior)
    Lots of recent extensive maintenance, turn key..

    Aircraft stored in private corporate hangar. Midwest based most of its life…

    Was purchased with intent of leasing to another company, that adventure did not pan out, I have several aircraft and need the space.

    Would trade for TR, 550, or similar value car.

    *I own or have owned several sports cars including Ferraris so not a newbie trying to get into the market…Simply thought it would be worth checking with the group here…


    PM if interested…

    You still have to put a price on it, and some photos would not hurt....

    Best of luck!

    I get it..Pretty normal with airplanes though. In my opinion you want them staggered. No one wants to pay for both at the same time…

    Price is 210k firm

    Will post pics soon

    Absolutely right, yet I still have a hard time seeing such a huge difference in hours between one engine and the other.
    Great airplane

    Sometimes they develop leaks or other things requiring you split the case etc. Had that issue on another airplane, just made sense to go through the engine when apart…
    Don’t know what the reason was. It was before my ownership.

    As you may be aware, Aztecs are usually beat up. This one had the same private owner (before me) since the late 90s…He babied it and it was his toy, even flew it to Scotland if you can believe it….
    He had this airplane as well as a newer Citation..

    You won’t find many old Aztecs with this type of ownership history.

    Got my multi in an Aztec. This was back in the 70’s. I haven’t flown one since but remember it like it was yesterday.

    Didn’t know what to expect but the first time I flew it I loved it. Just a solid, fundamental airplane that rocks.

    Good luck in your endeavors.
